Neglected segmental patella fracture: A case report and review of literature
2020
International Journal of Case Reports in Orthopaedics
Fractures of patella constitute only 1% of all skeletal injuries. Mechanism of injury can be either by a direct impact or by indirect eccentric extensor contraction. Management depends on the personality of fracture, displacement, articular surface involvement, and the status of the patient's extensor mechanism. Several techniques have been described for patellar fracture fixation. Case Report: We present a case of a 35 year old male who had a 3 months old segmental fracture of the patella.
